Charles LeClerc has embarked on a romantic journey in the fast lane of his life. The F1 racing driver has announced his engagement to Alexandra Saint Mleux after two years of dating, with a November 2 Instagram post that is a visual ode to their love story. In the post, the 28-year-old from Monaco shares a heartwarming photo of him and his 24-year-old fiancée, Alexandra, posing with her diamond ring, and writes, "Mr² & Mrs. Leclerc."
The intimate proposal story is also revealed in the post, with Charles decorating their home with a grand heart made of roses and long candles. He carried on the floral theme in the dining room, where he placed a bouquet of roses and two plates of cookies filled with their initials on the table. But Charles didn't plan this special moment alone; his dog Leo even got in on the action, wearing a tag around his neck that read, "Dad wants to marry you!"
As the couple accelerates their romance to a new level, fellow F1 racers have sent their well-wishes in the comment section. Lewis Hamilton wrote "Congratulations to you both" with a heart emoji, while Oscar Piastri—who has been vocal about his close bond with Charles over the years—echoed the sentiment, simply writing, "Congrats!" Even Charles' former Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. chimed in with pride, exclaiming, "Yesssss."
Charles and Alexandra first sparked dating rumors in March 2023 when they were spotted together at Paris Fashion Week. Four months later, they confirmed their relationship status while enjoying a sweet outing at Wimbledon. Since then, the two have occasionally stepped out at events together, including the F1 Grand Prix in Mexico last month.
As the couple continues to elevate their romance, Charles is focused on his future as a Ferrari driver. Indeed, the racer—who extended his contract with the sports car brand last January—has pressed the brakes on rumors that he'll sign with another company. "I've always loved Ferrari," he explained during his October 17 appearance at Austin's Lights Out Grand Prix. "I want to win again with Ferrari, and that doesn't really change. Whenever you are in a team, you've got to trust the project to be able to give your best. But I love Ferrari and I've always been extremely grateful to them."
